Thank you very much for your comments, I,m very pleased you all enjoyed your meals with us, we hope to see you again in the future.

I am all for freedom of speech!!
In this instance the only response this review needs is to say A very big congratulations to the lady that wrote it, she must be very proud to have been nominated for both the "MAN BOOKER PRIZE" and also "THE STORY PRIZE" and I,m very sure that if she continues with her reviews next year she must surely be a winner of one of the above prizes! (for those of you not familiar with these awards feel free to google them)
I'll finish by saying once again, feel free to judge us on our reviews both good and bad! but the best way to see how GOOD we are or bad! is to visit us for yourselves! what have you got to lose?
hope to see you soon if your passing our way. regards The Landlady.

I would just like to say that we are a very busy country pub and do not have time to respond to every review written about us, obviously reviews are a very personal view and as long standing experienced publicans of over 15yrs we are well aware that you can not please everyone all of the time, we do however try our very best to give a very warm welcome, and provide clean and comfortable rooms for your stay, and our chef's produce home made food to a very very high standard, we have a lot of regular diners and also a lot of repeat customers in our rooms, so I think this speaks for itself.
The gentleman in question who wrote the review was travelling with a colleague who also stayed with us, and returned the following week for another stay!
I always think the best way to find out about a place is try it for yourself! so if your passing our way and want a traditional country village Inn that does great food pop in and try us or better still stay the night and really soak up the atmosphere and enjoy.
